Were You Diagnosed with a Brain Tumor After Using the Depo-Provera Birth Control Shot?
Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a hormonal birth control injection used by millions of women across the U.S. While the shot is effective at preventing pregnancy, recent medical studies and legal claims have raised serious concerns about a link between Depo-Provera and brain tumors — specifically, a type called meningioma.
Meningiomas are typically benign (non-cancerous), but they can grow slowly and press against the brain or spinal cord, leading to seizures, headaches, vision loss, and even permanent neurological damage. In some cases, surgery is required to remove the tumor.
Medical research has shown that prolonged exposure to high-dose progestin (the active ingredient in Depo-Provera) may increase the risk of developing meningiomas. Some studies indicate that the risk is higher among women who used Depo-Provera for multiple years or at higher doses.
In 2018, France required a **label warning** on high-dose progestin medications due to the risk of meningioma. More countries and medical institutions are now reviewing Depo-Provera safety as additional data emerges.
If you used Depo-Provera and are now experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit:
Chronic headaches
Vision changes or vision loss
Seizures
Memory issues or confusion
Muscle weakness or numbness
Diagnosis of brain tumor or meningioma (via MRI/CT scan)
You may be eligible if:
You received Depo-Provera injections
You were diagnosed with brain meningioma
You required surgery, treatment, or long-term medical monitoring
You were not adequately warned about the risk of brain tumors
Medical treatment and imaging (MRIs, surgeries, etc.)
Pain and suffering
Neurological rehabilitation
Lost wages and reduced ability to work
Emotional trauma and mental health care
Women across the country are filing lawsuits against the manufacturer of Depo-Provera (Pfizer), alleging that the company failed to properly warn patients about the increased risk of developing brain tumors. These lawsuits argue that if adequate warnings had been provided, women could have made safer, more informed decisions about their birth control options.
